 Computer-aided manufacturing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) refers to software that is used to generate the instruction codes for a CNC machine in order for it to cut out a shape designed in a computer-aided design (CAD) system.
Until the mid-1980s most software was limited to single surface machining over a single Computer representation of surfaces [Computer representation of a surface] at a time.
Every piece of CAM software must first solve the problem of CAD data exchange where in the CAD system which is producing the data often stores it in its own proprietary format, much as is the case with Word processor software.

 CAD - Computer Aided Manufacturing
CAM is generally the second step in the automated manufacturing process.
CAM is the conversion of the description of a part, as embodied in a CAD drawing, into a description of how to MAKE the part, in some particular technology.
While the CAD drawing need not pay much attention to the method of production, the CAM process must be aware of the restrictions of the type of machine to be used, so that the material is not undercut, leaving gouges in the surface.

COMPUTER-AIDED MANUFACTURING [computer-aided manufacturing] (CAM), a form of automation where computers communicate work instructions directly to the manufacturing machinery.
Today a single computer can control banks of robotic milling machines, lathes, welding machines, and other tools, moving the product from machine to machine as each step in the manufacturing process is completed.
The technology evolved from the numerically controlled machines of the 1950s, which were directed by a set of coded instructions contained in a punched paper tape.

 COMPUTER AIDED MANUFACTURING
For this reason, the CAM knowledge gained within MFD (and reflected in this document) should be extended and shared throughout the manufacturing systems at SLAC to ensure the most effective on-site integration possible.
Additionally, through the increasing standardization of networking computer hardware around SLAC, the integration of CAD/CAM and other computer-based engineering and management functions is naturally occurring.
Other initiatives in MFD such as the introduction of a production database and characterization of the computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine tools in the Light Machine Shop are providing valuable evaluation tools to allow fine-tuning of the CAM system.
